Movies are a wonderful tool to teach story and character development. In my opinion, the good movies are the ones that make you feel. I Will Follow is that type of film.
I Will Follow is the story of Maye, played brilliantly by Sallie Richardson-Whitfield, as she deals with the death of her beloved aunt. The story is a glimpse into 24 hours of her life and the twelve people who help her heal and move on. See the trailer below:
This movie makes you feel something. Everyone has felt sadness, anger, regret, confusion, hope, acceptance and love. The characters are fully realized and by the end of the film I felt spent. These independent films are sometimes overlooked by the majority of moviegoers. The type of movie that stays with you long after the credits have rolled. If you love dramas, rent this movie.
This is what I strive for in my own work. Complete and developed characters. When the story ends, I want you to imagine them as real people and wonder if they will be okay.
